We are an uncle

[vin_petrol]

It appears I'm an uncle now (for the first time). My sister Tara popped a small female human at 02:30 this morning. 7lb 7oz. Mother and baby doing fine.

Sadly, becoming an uncle *after* you've already become a dad isn't quite as exciting. I can see how doing it the other way round would be much more interesting. Although I suppose I'm far more in the firing line as "possible back-up parental unit in case of severe problems."

Congratulations! You can practice being Evil Uncle Vin. The parental experience means you'll know loads of cool ways to wind up your sister via your niece :-)

Congratulations !
Now you get to be a bad influence (in a good way) and do crazy things that aunties & uncles HAVE to do, especially things that annoy the parents ;-)
